Did you know that there are different learning styles? Your learning style is the method by which you best learn and retain information, and each person has their own style. Understanding your learning style can help you optimize your learning experiences and put you in a better position to select the learning experiences that are better suited to your needs.

But how do you figure out your learning style? The Learning Styles Questionnaire, developed by renowned learning specialists Peter Honey and Alan Mumford, identifies your learning style preference and provides actionable insights to expand your learning style range.

The Learning Styles Questionnaire starts with an 80-item self-assessment that takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The result is a score containing the four learning styles, with the highest score being the individual's dominant learning style using a four-quadrant model.

The accompanying workbook, Capitalizing on Your Learning Style, helps individuals make sense of their LSQ results. It shows individuals how to maximize their learning strengths, compensate for weaknesses, and develop their less dominant styles.

By the end of this training session, participants will do the following:

• Identify individual learning style preferences
• Increase the awareness of learning activities that are congruent with individual learning styles
• Learn how to maximize learning strengths
• Develop less dominant learning styles
• Balance the learning styles of groups
• Surface team learning difficulties
• Expand their learning style range

Surface team learning issues and help balance training methods to accommodate the different learning preferences in your group using the Learning Styles Questionnaire.

The LSQ is effective as a stand-alone learning instrument and as part of a more comprehensive training program. You can use the LSQ to do the following:

• Balance the learning styles of groups
• Help trainers identify the dominant learning style of participants
• Surface team learning difficulties
• Help managers understand and motivate their employees
• Discuss the learning process
• Help participants expand their learning style range
